We are going to take out our cast iron tub and put in a new one...prob acrylic.
Tips on getting the tub out? A worker at Lowes last night told us that if we take all the tile and board on the 3 walls around the tub down to the studs we can prob take the cast iron out in one piece.
We are planning to demo the walls and put up new tile so that should not be a problem.
With regards to the new tub...I currently measure the old one at 5ft long and 30.5 inches wide. My BIL said to add 3/4 of an inch onto that because the lip on the long side is under the tile.
So that brings us to 31.25...does that mean I get a 32 inch tub?
